Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 551

Tarquin remained silent, his gaze fixed somewhere in the distance.

Elysia's cheeks flushed a crimson red. "Don't be ridiculous, that doesn't count! We're discussing serious matters here. Emmett, who taught you that word?"

"From Evan."

Elysia turned her head towards Evan, feigning anger.

Evan tilted his head up, gazing at the sky. His deep, dark eyes rolled around in their sockets, deliberately avoiding her gaze. Soon after, he dragged Emmett away to grab some food.

Elliot glanced at Tarquin with a slightly narrowed gaze and said to Elysia, "Mom, I'm gonna go find my brothers."

A proud smile graced Elijah's face as he said, "Dad's got Mom's back, so I'm relieved. I'll go catch up with Evan and Emmett."

As soon as Elijah caught up with Evan, he said, "Doesn't this earn Dad some points? He stood up for Mom just now."

Evan nodded. "Yeah, give him a point."

Elijah, trying to bargain, asked, "Can't we give him two points instead? Adding points one by one, when would they ever finish?"

Among the four, Elliot and Emmett remained neutral, but Evan was the most critical of Dad. If they could win Evan over quickly, the four brothers would be united in purpose! Then, they could all work together to bring Dad and Mom closer!

Seeing Evan's hesitation, Elijah turned to Elliot for support.

Elliot chuckled, "Dad did good today, dealing with those two troublemakers. Let's give him two points."

Evan, always listening to Elliot, conceded, "Alright, alright, two points it is. That makes it three points in total."
